Gen Howard,

Dear Sir,

Hearing you employ teachers, for the "Freedmen," I write you asking what wages are given, and what are the duties required of those employed? I am desirous of obtaining a situation, as soon as possible, and if there is a vacancy. I hope you will favor me with a speedy reply. There is a Friend, of mine, who is anxious, also for a situation and if in your power. I hope you will favor both of us - I refer you to Mr. J. S. Lucas.
